Find Ancestors

Hi does anyone have access to Scottish bmd records. I am looking for details of Jean Wilkie (Wilkin) b approx 1893 who married Andrew McDonald. Unsure but would assume Portsay as possible birth place. died Elgin 1931 approx.

Thanks for any help :-)

Could you tell us how you got to her please?

You really need Scotlandspeople which is not a subscription site

I can't find her death or marriage on scotlandspeople.

alviegal - She was my husbands grandmother.

IF you get the death certificate from Scotlandspeople, it will name her parents including her mother's maiden surname. Remember to select variants on Jean as she may have actually been named Jane or Jeanie.

Did you mean Portsoy for her birthplace?

Thank you so much for looking, I know she died in Elgin in 1931 but know very little about her husband or anything about either of their parents, but they did have children, Andrew, Robert, Henry, Mary, Margaret & Jeanie.

rootgatherer, thank you yes sorry Portsoy as a guess as my mother in law was born there. My mother in law was a young girl when her mother died and even younger when her father died hence the 'black hole' as such

Hello Elaine, this is the website that you need http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

You mother-in-law's birth certificate will give the date and place of her parents' marriage. You can then look for the marriage certificate which will give the ages of the bride and groom, names and occupations of their fathers and names, including maiden surname of the mothers..

That will hopefully lead you to Jean's birth certificate.
